Dang Greenhorn....that is an impressive photo collection of bears there indeed. Just wondering are cinnamon phase bears extremely prevalent where you hunt or do you single them out?? Just wondering cause I've only ever seen one cinnamon black bear here in Alaska.

Luke, around here, a large percentage of bears are colored. I'd say 50% are colored, possibly more.

Right on!!! That is pretty cool. I'd love to get a color phased black bear. All the brown phase bears up here have a big hump on their shoulders

Again congrats on the impressive collection!! And I know your other critter collections are just as much or more so impressive!

Luke, my situation was similar to yours. I had never seen a cinnamon bear after living up here my whole life. Killed plenty of 'black' black bears, but had never seen a color phase bear. Then, went on a moose hunt in a new area that I had never hunted before. We saw 16 cinnamon/chocolate bears that trip, it was incredible. From my experience, seems like there are small pockets with those genetics. My goal had always been to kill a nice black one with a chevron on its chest, now I'd not only like to do that, but I'd like to kill a nice Alaskan cinnamon bear. Maybe this spring, I know right where to go...

Haven't posted pics before - see if this works.
Couple of my more recent bears.

Taken while hunting whitetails. Was glassing down a field edge, looking for deer, when I heard a slight noise below my treestand. Looked down and this guy was waddling past, eating in the field as he went. Shot was 30 yards, recovery was about 10. He went down unbelievably fast, which was perfect.

Took this smaller cinnamon while looking for elk.

My son had some luck in the lee Metcalf wilderness area of SW Montana this spring. He's 12 and it's his first.

Congatulations to you and your son! Nice bear!
